A leap into the void

Every time I see this commercial, I wonder what could have prompted the people to sing and dance with such exuberance. Do they know that once the commercial is over they will disappear forever? No more continuity--they're just gone.

And then today I noticed the leap, like the leap of Butch and Sundance, and I figured, hey, that's they answer. It begins with the question of life--"What next?" They know, and so they sing, embracing the leap into the endless dark. It's Sartre with slot machines.

Y'know, I really need to get out of the apartment today.
